Yes yes yes, a new release would be great!

Checking https://translations.launchpad.net/evergreen suggests we should
try pulling in English (UK) and Spanish as well; Launchpad automatically
exports updated PO files to the translation-export branch, but there's
some munging needed to move between the 1.6 and trunk PO filenaming. For

I need to fix serials MFHD ingest, minimally, by applying the "gross
hack" referenced in http://markmail.org/message/m4uw32ac67owf4ay

Also, should we tackle OpenSRF 1.2.1 + OpenSRF 1.4.0 first per rough dev
meeting agreement
